Residents at risk: Stories of ‘last resort’ caravan park residency in NSW
For many socio-economically disadvantaged people, what was initially intended as a temporary or transitional housing option - just until they ‘get back on their feet’ - turns into a long-term cycle of deprivation and marginalisation, as the means to make choices and secure better housing options evaporates.
This St Vincent de Paul Society social justice research report examines the predicament of disadvantaged caravan park residents in selected parks across urban and rural areas of New South Wales.
